”Heh heh.”

Seeing that Wei Yang and the other two no longer intended to compete, the thin, black-robed man let out a low, eerie laugh. Then, his gaze turned toward Elder Bao Shan at the center of the grand hall. With a wave of his hand, a small snow-white rabbit appeared in his palm.

The moment the rabbit emerged, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance spread throughout the entire hall. Many people’s eyes turned slightly red, their gazes locked tightly onto that little rabbit.

A Nine-Colored Tier 8 Pill — it was the strongest type below the rank of a Tier 9 Treasure Pill. Even Ban Shengs, and even some poorer low-level Dou Sheng experts, would be tempted by it, not to mention the majority of Dou Zun experts present.

The black-robed man gently stroked the little rabbit, his heart aching in pain. But when he thought of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, he gritted his teeth.

A glow rose from his palm, enveloping the rabbit, and with another wave of his hand, the glowing sphere shot toward Elder Bao Shan like lightning. As the Nine-Colored Pill flew across the hall, many eyes followed it closely, each filled with the urge to snatch it midway.

Fortunately, none of them lost their sanity. After a brief internal struggle, they all restrained themselves. Elder Bao Shan extended his hand and caught the glowing sphere that had flown over.

Then, concentrating his senses, he carefully inspected the snow-white rabbit. Feeling the terrifyingly pure energy contained within, he finally nodded slightly, a hint of amazement flickering in his eyes.

Clearly, even Elder Bao Shan hadn’t expected someone to actually be willing to bring out such a pill just to exchange for a fragment of a map.

What a foolishly rich man.

”This friend, the transaction is complete. This fragment is now yours.”

Elder Bao Shan carefully stored away the rabbit, then flicked his finger. The map fragment turned into a streak of light, flashing toward the thin black-robed man. The latter caught it in his hand amid a pleased, triumphant laugh.

Wei Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly. Arrogant... good.

Beside him, Xiao Yan silently watched as the map fragment landed in the black-robed old man’s hand. Inside his sleeve, his fist slowly clenched, and his eyelids lowered slightly, hiding the icy chill flickering in his eyes.

”Hehe, with that, this Spatial Trade Fair has come to an end. However, there is still one last item — though it’s not an item, but rather, a piece of information.”

”Although this information will likely spread across Central Plains before long, as of now, what we have here should be the very first source.”

After completing the map transaction, Elder Bao Shan didn’t bring out any new items to auction. Instead, he smiled faintly as he spoke.

Scanning the hall, he continued with a grin, ”Everyone, rest assured, we won’t charge anything for this piece of information. Consider it a free gift from us.”

”Because this news is rather shocking, we decided to save it for last.”

Upon hearing that, everyone in the hall raised their brows, curiosity flashing in their eyes. They were all eager to know — what kind of news could make Elder Bao Shan treat it with such gravity?

Sensing all those curious and puzzled gazes, Elder Bao Shan smiled faintly and stopped keeping them in suspense. His calm voice slowly echoed throughout the grand hall.

”That legendary Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, said to grant instant Dou Sheng upon enlightenment after a thousand years, it has once again appeared in the world!”

”What?!”

”The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree?!”

That sentence landed like a deep-water bomb, instantly setting off an uproar throughout the entire hall. Several powerful experts couldn’t suppress their shock and abruptly stood up, their faces full of disbelief.

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

If one were to rank all the heavenly treasures and earthly wonders of the Dou Qi Continent, it would undoubtedly be among the top three. The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree — in some ancient texts, it was also called the Knowledge Reincarnation Tree.

It grows one cycle every thousand years, and only when it has completed one hundred cycles does it truly mature. Such an incredibly long span of time is enough to erode anything in existence even Emperors.

Yet the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree seemed to transcend the river of time itself, untethered and unbound. It was one of the most ancient species to ever exist on the continent.

It was said that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree only appears once every thousand years, and each appearance would cause an enormous upheaval across the land. Throughout the long history of the world, there were even cases where Dou Sheng-level experts fell while fighting over it!

According to ancient records, there was said to be only one such tree in existence — a unique creation of Heaven and Earth itself. It possessed its own consciousness, and after each appearance, it would retreat deep into the earth’s core, where no one could ever find its trace again.

However, when the next cycle arrives, it will once again reappear in the world.

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree—instant Dou Sheng upon enlightenment!

This was not an exaggeration, but a fact.

Within the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree lies the Bodhisattva Heart. Whoever obtains it will have their heart merge with the Bodhisattva, and attaining Dou Sheng would be as effortless as lifting a finger.

Once, a person with great fortune consumed the Bodhisattva Heart. That individual, whose talent had not been exceptional and whose strength had only reached the level of a Two-Star Dou Zun, managed to, in less than five short years, shatter all barriers and bottlenecks at an astonishing speed, as if no thresholds existed, directly reaching the realm of Dou Sheng—shocking the entire continent.

Such near-divine effects were enough to drive countless people mad with desire. Whoever could obtain the Bodhisattva Heart would essentially hold a direct pass to advance into the Dou Sheng realm—the very peak of this world.

Even setting aside the Bodhisattva Heart, the slightly inferior Bodhisattva Seed could still greatly increase one’s chances of breaking through to Dou Sheng.

Although its effects were not as miraculous as the Bodhisattva Heart, for those standing at the peak of Dou Zun, it possessed an irresistible allure. After all, breaking through to Dou Sheng was far too difficult and despair-inducing for ordinary people.

Some peak Dou Zun experts, even after exhausting their entire lives, might never achieve it. At such times, a single Bodhisattva Seed was enough to drive them into madness. After all, even the slightest increase in the chance of Dou Sheng was worth staking one’s life for.

Therefore, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree’s allure to those at the Dou Zun and even Ban Sheng level was utterly overwhelming—bordering on insanity. It was easy to imagine the enormous upheaval this news would cause once it spread across the Central Plains.

”As expected, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree has appeared!” Wei Yang slowly straightened his posture, his eyes flickering as excitement surged in his heart.

In truth, the main reason he had come to the Spatial Trade Fair was precisely to await this very piece of news. He didn’t particularly care for the Bodhisattva Heart. For Wei Yang, achieving Dou Sheng was never a matter of barriers—it was merely a matter of time.

What he lacked most now was exactly that—time. To comprehend the Dao beneath the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and experience the Hundred Reincarnation—that was what Wei Yang truly sought.

Hundred Reincarnation!

For certain special individuals, like Wei Yang, the Bodhisattva Heart was nothing in comparison. To comprehend the Dao beneath the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree and experience the reincarnation of a hundred lives—now that was the true, unparalleled opportunity one could only dream of.

Whoosh~

While Wei Yang was filled with excitement and Xiao Yan was still in shock, Yao Lao beside them slowly exhaled a long breath. That exhale carried a trace of disbelief. Clearly, even with Yao Lao’s current state of mind, this news was enough to shake his composure.

”The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree... I didn’t expect it to be real,” Yao Lao murmured softly. ”Wei Yang, Xiao Yan—this is an opportunity beyond priceless for both of you.”

”Yeah.” Wei Yang and Xiao Yan both nodded.

Wei Yang’s thumb lightly brushed against the storage ring on his finger. Inside that ring rested a single Bodhisattva Seed, one he had obtained back then from the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva.

It was said that the Bodhisattva Seed could sense the presence of the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, but at this moment, it remained completely still. It was likely because the distance was too great—or perhaps the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had not yet truly emerged into the world.
